20 simulators
The lab bench.
Push a parameter and watch the physics answer. Every simulator shows its formulas and the assumptions it makes, so you know where the model stops being true.
- Mechanics
Projectile Motion
Launch angle, speed, gravity and air drag, with the trajectory traced live.
- Astronomy and space
Gravity Sandbox
Throw planets around a star. Binary stars, the figure eight, collisions.
- Mathematics
Game of Life
Conway's cellular automaton. Draw cells, load guns and spaceships, change the rules.
- Mechanical engineering
Resonance
Shake a spring at its natural frequency and watch the amplitude climb.
